IDF/AF Dragon Rapide 1948


de Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide

100 Squadron, Israeli Air Force 1948

 

The IDF/AF operated 7 Dragon Rapides in 1948. Mostly operated for personnel and cargo transport, the Dragon Rapide were also be used as an air ambulance. Lacking bombers, the IDF fitted machine guns firing out the doors and aircrew pushing small bombs from the cabin. A typical load was 16x 20kg bombs. Some Dragon Rapides had bomb racks added but its not clear how many.

 

Strictly speaking all remaining Dragon Rapides were not concentrated in 100 Squadron until 1949.

 

Some of the details of the original A-Team skin have been retained. Special thanks to allenjb42 for the background material.

 

Enjoy
